Frequently asked questions
How much does an Afriex transfer cost?+
Afriex lists a transfer fee of 0 to 1 USD for a send, so the cost of a transfer is known before you pay. The fee is not set as a share of the amount, which keeps the shape of the charge the same on small transfers and larger ones.
How fast does Afriex deliver money?+
Afriex states a delivery time of Under 20 seconds (99% of transfers), so a send is usually quick. The money goes to a bank account or a mobile wallet, the payout types the service supports, so the recipient sees the funds through their own bank or wallet app.
How can a recipient get the money?+
Afriex pays out to bank and wallet. A bank account means the money lands in an account in the recipient's name, while a mobile wallet suits someone who prefers to hold the funds in an app. Both are the payout types the service lists.
How do I get help if a transfer goes wrong?+
Help is available through email, chat and phone, so there are several ways to get in touch. Pick the channel that suits the problem, and use the help centre to look up an answer before you write in or call about a transfer.
Who runs Afriex and where is it based?+
Afriex is operated by Afriex Inc., a company founded in 2019 and based in the US. The legal entity is the party named in the terms, and the same team handles the support channels listed for the service.
How many currencies can I send with Afriex?+
Afriex covers from 30 currencies, more than most services in the money transfer category, where the median currency count is 5. A wide list means you can usually send and receive in the currency the recipient already holds, rather than converting twice on the way.
How does Afriex compare with PayPal Colombia and Skrill on cost?+
Afriex charges 0 to 1 USD for a transfer. Skrill sets its fee as a percentage of the amount sent, and PayPal Colombia charges nothing from a PayPal balance or a linked bank account but more on card and international sends, so the cheapest option depends on how you fund the payment.
